In the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, things got heated in both the Senate and the White House. The House of Representatives passed a deal, but members of the MAGA crowd were furious with Speaker Mike Johnson for compromising with Democrats. In a bizarre turn of events, Congressman Tim Burch claimed that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy elbowed him hard in the kidney as payback for voting to remove him from office. Meanwhile, in the Senate, MMA fighter and current Senator Mark Wayne Mullen got into a confrontation with the president of the Teamsters Union. The exchange got so intense that they even challenged each other to a physical altercation.
Host Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t help but comment on the chaotic state of politics, jokingly referring to Bernie Sanders as the “Peacemaker” of the Senate. Kimmel also shared a survey that revealed 63% of Gen Z respondents said they have a best friend at work, leading to some humorous commentary on cell phones being mistaken for real friends.
The episode also featured a segment on former Vice President Mike Pence‘s new book, “Go Home for Dinner: Advice on How Faith Makes a Family and Family Makes a Life.” Kimmel playfully poked fun at the original title, which was reportedly “Go Home for Dinner,” highlighting Pence’s unpopularity with certain individuals.
In addition to political news, the talk show also included some entertaining tidbits. Kimmel quipped about the potential army of 50,000 loyalists that a future MAGA White House might recruit. He humorously suggested nominating Dog the Bounty Hunter for attorney general. Kimmel also took a jab at Trump’s failed social media platform, truth social, which has reportedly lost $73 million since its launch.
The episode also shared some insights into former First Lady Melania Trump‘s life in the White House. During an interview with her former adviser, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, it was revealed that Melania only moved to Washington after a new toilet was installed. Kimmel couldn’t resist joking about her approved list of adjectives used to describe her, highlighting words like “confident” and “strong independent,” which she reportedly carried with her everywhere.
Switching gears, Kimmel mentioned the changes happening at Chuck E. Cheese, particularly the removal of the creepy robotic animals that entertain visitors. Kimmel humorously announced the addition of an animatronic dog to his own band, jokingly stating that the dog must promise not to kill him in his sleep.
To spice things up, Kimmel introduced a new game show segment called “Give Me Five.” Contestants had to name five things within a given category in 25 seconds. The categories included famous white women, wet things, and items that could be worn as hats, providing some hilarious and unexpected responses from the contestants.
The latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live perfectly captured the entertaining and lively atmosphere that the talk show is known for. From political confrontations to celebrity interviews and fun game shows, the episode offered a dose of entertainment that had viewers engaged throughout.
